Draw a directory tree

[David Gray]

Hi,

Is it possible to draw a directory tree in Visio 2002 and have the
structure pulled from a real tree?

Dave.

Assumption: your talking about Active Directory or NDS. There was a separate
add-on available for v2002 (Visio Enterprise Network Tools) that supported
that function. If you have the add-on, then yes.

Hi,

If you mean "Novell Directory services" then no, I'm just talking
about a plain old vanilla folder tree on a PC or server.


e.g.

C:\
|--- Folder1
|--- Folder2
| |--- Subfolder1
|--- Folder3


Regards,
Dave.

Can you draw a directory using visio, yes. Visio doesn't do it as a standard
function so you would have to write the code. The v2003SDK has an example of
creating a tree view drawing and of course the technet/script center has
examples for querying folders and subfolders which could be modified
(assumption you want to write in VB(A)).
